Title: WA on Linux?
Post by: Kradie on June 15, 2024, 08:37 PM
I have been looking into Linux Mint and I thought ''Hey that looks nice''. So I wondered ''Will WA run nice on that?''

Thoughts? Experience?

Would you need ''Wine'' to run WA?

By default there will noticeable latency, so simply running WA from WINE isn't gonna cut it. What I had to do was install Lutris, enable Game Mode, restrict to single core, and then select OpenGL renderer in game settings. After that it was playable.
That's a real shame because it look like Linux Mint is getting more approachable, and aesthetically pleasing to work with.

When did you try WA on Linux? Perhaps things with the distro and software has changed since the last time you tried.

i'd much rather be worried about the general user experience than WA itself. as in, literally every other task that you'd do on a computer typically

It all depends on the Individual user of course.

I'm running WA 3.8.1 in GoG version on MacOs with wine. Works perfect.

If u have steam version, just enable Proton on Steam Settings to play any Windows game on Linux, sometimes it even overperforms windows itself (thanks to DXVK Layer)
